Hey Joe, where you goin
with that gun of your hand

En 1987, Willy DeVille débute une carrière solo avec Miracle en collaboration avec Mark Knopfler de Dire Straits. Sa femme Lisa Leggett, épousée en 1984, devient son manager. Vers 1990, il s'installe à la Nouvelle-Orléans dont l'ambiance musicale colore les albums suivants. Willy DeVille y enregistre Victory Mixture en 1990, suivi de Backstreets of Desire en 1992, où figure son grand tube, la reprise de Hey Joe version mariachi, qui lui vaut un succès international, et auquel collaborent le légendaire bluesman Dr. John, inspirateur d'Eric Clapton et des Rolling Stones, David Hidalgo des Los Lobos, Efrain Toro, Mariachi los Camperos and Jimmy Zavala et Zachary Richard.
